Hundreds of these animals are kept in cap

There are, says Science News, from which

animal, and is an object of fear and abhor,
renee in this region, although it rarely moves
abroad during the day, but passes the hours
of light and heat in slothful slumber, hidden
from prying eyes. The NIverra zIbetba of
India and the Philippine Islands differs in no
essential particulars save its short and thick
hair and n much longer neck; the description
of one may serve for that, with this single
variation. In many ways the civet resem-
bles both the jnguar and the cat, the latter
especially in disposition and size.

Thinning Fruits.

All horticulturists who grow choice fruit
for market realize the importance OF thin
ming ont the embryo fruit by relieving
trees and vines of any surplus and of all
inferior or diseased specimens. Farmers,
as n rule, also recognize the importance OF
thinning fruits, but comparatively few OF
them do it, the plea being that 1t is too
much trouble. The consequence OF neglect
in this direction is n lot of inferior fruit,
often unfit for any market; very unlike
the choice grades that command highest
prices.
The surplus of trees or vines may he re-
moved before the flowers have bloomed
by the operation of disbudling, or it may
he done rs soon as the fruit has set; in
deed, thinning may still he. accomplished
after the fruit is half grown, by reducing
the number, so that what remains Will be
fully and perfectly developed. This thin
ming out of fruit pays alike on pear,
peach, plum and other fruit trees, and es-
pecally have its good effects been noted
on grape vines It is by the removal OF "A
large portion Of clusters Of embryo fruits
that prize grapes, peaches and the like arc
obtained.

AN ILLUSION.

a slight effort of the will causes this appear
ance to be reversed, and ABCD seems TO
be tho back face, while X comes to the front,
the apparent position of the solid changing
at the same time. A little practice will en-
able one to cause it to change sides at will;
and u peculiar sensation is experienced as the
figure apparently changes its position, us If
endowed with life.
1t is rather difficult, says Science News, to
briefly explain this illusion, which depends
upon tue laws of perspective. When the face
ABCD appears to be in front, the block
appears to be resting in "A natural position,
and consequently the eye at first sees 1t that
way; but when the sides are reversed the
block seems to be tipped backward against
the action OF gravity, and an effort Of the
will is needed TO make IL assume that posi-
ton, although the lines Of perspective indi-
cate both positions equally well, In order to
prevent this confusion in drawings of crys-
tails, etc, the back lines are usually drawn
dotted or broken, to indicate their position
